Alison Brie Wants to Make a Return to ‘Scream'
During her recent appearance on the Shut Up Evan podcast (via Deadline), Alison Brie stated she, too, is open to reprising her late character in a new Scream movie but believes the 'core four' characters of the last two films 'need to die' already.
I hear tons of people are coming back. … I mean, Hayden [Panettiere] came back in [Scream] 6. Too many people live. The 'core four' needs to die. We killed [Jamie Kennedy's Randy Meeks] in Scream 2. We should be down to two of the 'core four,' just by Scream 7.
During a recent interview with Comic Book, David S. Goyer, co-writer of the upcoming Blob remake, stated the titular monster would be 'made in the lab,' the same as it was revealed to be in the 1980s version, though with the added wrinkle of 'AI and gene editing and the slippery slope all that work entails.'
One of the decisions we made is instead of the Blob coming from space, it's something that is made in the lab.
Speaking of the 1980s Blob, here's an unusual clip from Chuck Russell's upcoming Witchboard remake courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting.
A sleepwalker may be host to a demonic entity in the trailer for Dream Eater, a found-footage horror movie coming to theaters this October 24.
During a recent interview with TV Line, Chris Sheridan confirmed there's 'definitely' a possibility for future Resident Alien movies at USA.
When I got the official call that they weren't going to continue the show, I did ask about that. I asked Michael Sluchan (who's running Versant and heads up the USA folk) if, down the line, a movie of some sort or something, if they'd be open to it. He said yes. They've done a bunch of movies over there. They've done a few Psych movies. They've done a Monk movie. I asked them if they would consider doing one for us and they said definitely. You can't launch a movie next week, but you wait a couple of years and I think the audience will still be there for it. I know very much the cast would love to come back and do something and I would definitely be open to that.
The story we set out to tell originally in the pilot, we have now finished telling, but it doesn't mean there's not more story to tell. Harry left in the last episode. When I had the choice of whether to have him leave or stay, I decided to have him leave for a couple of reasons, but one of them was, if he leaves, then it's a great kick off if we do do a movie or something like that. Harry returns with some problem and people have to adjust. So I wouldn't be surprised if there's a movie or some sort in the future.
Alan Tudyk echoed his statements, adding he has hopes for a crossover with the Predator franchise.
I would be open to a future of Resident Alien past this incarnation on Syfy and USA [Network]. I've been joking that Resident Alien vs. Predator would make an entertaining movie. You could do a mash-up there! I know that Predator seems to be having a resurgence, so I don't know how willing they would be to mash-up with us. But there's any number of stories you could tell, and who knows what the business is going to be doing. I think it just comes down to that. The reason we're leaving is because the business is shifting, changing and figuring itself out for a minute. And when it figures itself out, if it gives us a call, we'll pick up.

Will Cate Blanchett Star in a ‘Squid Game' US Spin-Off?
Ever since that shocking Squid Game season 3 ending, fans have been talking about the possibility of a US spin-off series starring Cate Blanchett (and helmed by David Fincher). And though Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk previously revealed to Variety that Cate's cameo in the series finale was 'not related' to the rumored spin-off, the actress is now weighing in on her future with the franchise. When asked about starring in an English-language spin-off or sequel series, Cate told Variety she is 'wildly open to anything,' adding, 'I mean, I'd love to work with David [Fincher] again. It's been ages. But no, I don't know anything more than you do. I'm not being coy. I really don't.' Way back in October 2024—long before the Squid Game series finale aired—Deadline reported that a brand-new spin-off was being developed for Netflix with David Fincher at the helm of the project. However, little else has been heard about the project since in June 2025, Hwang Dong-hyuk said he hadn't 'heard officially from Netflix about David Fincher creating a Squid Game.' But fret not, because the Squid Game creator is open to the possibly of a spin-off series. As he told Entertainment Weekly, 'I'm not trying to say that I'm going to close the door to spin-offs or sequels altogether because they say never say never.' And from the sound of it, Cate is down as chances are, even if she did know anything about a sequel series, she wouldn't be allowed to share any deets. While speaking about her Squid Game cameo with Variety (which she apparently landed 'out of the blue'), Cate noted how everything she learned about her role 'was on a need-to-know basis.' As she explained, 'I got a couple of storyboards. I had to [learn to] play the game very quickly. I had to practice and practice. I knew there were four or five setups that they were going to do, and I knew what they needed from every shot, and then I was given the sides. But it was one of the more mysterious jobs.'

9 Spike Lee Joints to Watch (or Revisit) Now
Spike Lee is something of a Cannes legend—a festival regular who was president of the jury in 2021 and returned this year with his latest high-octane romp, Highest 2 Lowest, a reunion with long-time collaborator Denzel Washington. Ahead of its arrival in theaters this week, we revisit the boundary-pushing auteur's most impactful work to date, from the sun-soaked highs of Do the Right Thing to the devastating gut punch of Da 5 Bloods. She's Gotta Have It (1986) Lee's breakthrough came at the age of 29, with his raucous, ultra-low budget feature-length directorial debut: the zippy tale of a Brooklyn artist (Tracy Camilla Johns) struggling to choose between three lovers, which earned him Cannes's Youth Prize for young directors as well as the Independent Spirit Award for best first feature. Some three decades later, he'd adapt it into a spirited, DeWanda Wise-led Netflix series of the same name, too. Do the Right Thing (1989)
